Why Does The Sun Shine (the Sun Is A Mass Of Incandescent Gas) Lyrics - Singles - They Might Be Giants

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas 

A gigantic nuclear furnace 

Where hydrogen is built into helium 

At a temperature of millions of degrees 

Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not 

A place where we could live 

But here on Earth there'd be no life 

Without the light it gives 

We need its light 

We need its heat 

We need its energy 

Without the sun, without a doubt 

There'd be no you and me

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas 

A gigantic nuclear furnace 

Where hydrogen is built into helium 

At a temperature of millions of degrees 

The sun is hot 

It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, 

aluminum, and many others. 

The sun is large 

If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside. 

And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star. 

The sun is far away 

About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small. 

And even when it's out of sight 

The sun shines night and day

The sun gives heat 

The sun gives light 

The sunlight that we see 

The sunlight comes from our own sun's 

Atomic energy 

Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. 

The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, 

carbon, nitrogen, and helium. 

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas 

A gigantic nuclear furnace 

Where hydrogen is built into helium 

At a temperature of millions of degrees
